What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free bread (explicitly mentioned as safe in past experiences).
- Roasted chicken (reported safe in the context of allergy-conscious dining).
- Salad and soup (cited as GF options in community notes).
- Duck fat fries (mentioned as safe in one recent account due to assumed lack of cross-contact in the fryer, though there are conflicting reports about fry oil cross-contamination in other sources).
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not a dedicated gluten-free facility.
- Fry oil cross-contamination is a recurring point of contention in collected evidence. One report claims no cross-contact in the fryer for duck fat fries; another caution warns that fries may be fried in oil shared with gluten-containing items. If cross-contact is a major concern for you, it’s important to confirm oil usage and fry practices with the kitchen on the day you dine.
- Some historical mentions of gluten-free capabilities exist, but safety claims can vary by dish and staff familiarity at the moment of service. Clear, direct communication with staff and the chef remains essential.
